TITLE           Copy and Paste

OCCURRENCE      <all inputfields>

DESCRIPTION     The motif GUI does not support "normal" copy and paste bindings.
                Instead you have to use the following bindings:

                        * Copy = Ctrl-Insert
                        * Paste = Shift-Insert
                        * Cut = Shift-Delete
        
                Selecting text works as usual: Shift+<cursor movement>

                It is as well possible to use the mouse to select text.
                Selected text can be pasted using the middle mouse button (w/o
                the need to explicitely perform some copy operation).

EXAMPLES        None

WARNINGS        Copy and paste inside the same textfield does NOT work as expected
                with motif GUI. If you run into problems, try the following:
                        * select and copy your text 
                        * paste it somewhere else (e.g. some texteditor, ...)
                        * copy from there and paste into ARB

                Copying pasted text OVER selected text does NOT work as expected
                with motif GUI. Instead you have to delete selected text first, then
                copy wanted text and then paste it.

BUGS            The whole copy and paste mechanism provided by motif is considered a bug!
